How to use

Before the first use, it is recommended to clean the pan with warm water. During cooking, place the pan on a burner that matches its base size to ensure efficient heat distribution. Use moderate heat settings to allow the cast iron to heat up gradually. After cooking, allow the pan to cool down completely before cleaning. Wash the pan by hand using warm water and a mild detergent, then dry it thoroughly immediately to prevent oxidation. Applying a light layer of cooking oil after drying can help maintain the surface condition.
